Lyrics

Clear Blue Skies

What does it matter?
A dream of dust or a dream of life
In a universe of almost infinite size
Where is my dreaming?
And why does it always return to your eyes?

Tell me, what is the need?
And what am I to you?
Just a speck, just an ember
Dancing through

I'm splitting at the seams, deciphering my dreams
Tell me, what do you do when everything you thought you knew
Is dissolving in the air, disappearing from view

What kind of magic did you use?

And if I call myself a rational man
I know that this means nothing at all
But when I reach out, I grasp nothing
I know that I must fall

Into clear blue skies
I lost my disguise
Into clear blue skies
I lost my disguise

Clear blue skies
Clear blue skies
(Why are you waiting? Why are you waiting?
Why are you waiting? Why are you waiting?
Why are you waiting? Why are you waiting?
Why are you waiting? Why are you waiting?)
Clear blue skies
(Why are you waiting? Why are you waiting?
Why are you waiting? Why are you waiting?
Why are you waiting? Why are you waiting?
Why are you waiting? Why are you waiting?)
Close your eyes
(Why are you waiting? Why are you waiting?
Why are you waiting? Why are you waiting?
Why are you waiting? Why are you waiting?
Why are you waiting? Why are you waiting?)
Clear blue skies
(Why are you waiting? Why are you waiting?
Why are you waiting? Why are you waiting?
Why are you waiting? Why are you waiting?
Why are you waiting? Why are you waiting?)
Close your eyes
(Why are you waiting? Why are you waiting?
Why are you waiting? Why are you waiting?
Why are you waiting? Why are you waiting?
Why are you waiting? Why are you waiting?)
Clear blue skies
(Why are you waiting? Why are you waiting?
Why are you waiting? Why are you waiting?
Why are you waiting? Why are you waiting?
Why are you waiting? Why are you waiting?)
Close your eyes
(Why are you waiting? Why are you waiting?
Why are you waiting? Why are you waiting?)
